Viewtiful Joe

Viewtiful Joe is another series of games created by Devil May Cry creator, Shinji Mikami. The series centres around Joe, an average movie goer, who is sent into Movieland and becomes a hero, Viewtiful Joe. Joe has a rival in the series called Blade Master Alastor who is inspired by the sword and is meant to be the spirit inside it.

Plot
The first game begins with Joe on a date with his girlfriend, Silvia. The villain of the movie kidnaps Silvia and Joe enters Movieworld to save her. The hero of Movieworld, Captain Blue, appears and gives Joe a V-Watch so he can Henshin (transform). Joe faces a number of members of the evil JADOW organisation, including Alastor. After his defeat, Alastor describes his moves as "Beautiful" and Joe names himself "Viewtiful Joe." Joe eventually saves Silvia and she gets her own V-Watch and becomes "Sexy Silvia."

Dante's story in the PS2 version has Dante on a date with Trish and goes to save her. Dante's un henshined form is his underwear and his henshined form is his DMC1 attire.
